Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࠕ has the Unicode code point U+0815. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format:1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
Where thexare the payload bits.UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range Codepoint Range Bytes Bit pattern Payload length U+0000 - U+007F 1 0xxxxxxx 7 bits U+0080 - U+07FF 2 110xxxxx 10xxxxxx 11 bits U+0800 - U+FFFF 3 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 16 bits U+10000 - U+10FFFF 4 11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 21 bits Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:
Convert the hexadecimal code point U+0815 to binary:
00001000 00010101. Those are the payload bits.Step 3: Fill in the bits to match the bit pattern:
Obtain the final bytes by arranging the paylod bits to match the bit layout:
11100000 10100000 10010101

Description
The Unicode character U+0815 represents the Samaritan Letter TaaF (ࡤ), which is a key component of the ancient Samaritan script. In digital text, this character serves an important role in preserving the cultural heritage and linguistic history of the Samaritans, a religious and ethnolinguistic community with roots dating back to biblical times. The Samaritan Letter TaaF is distinct from other similar characters due to its unique shape and position within the Samaritan alphabet, which consists of 21 letters. While the usage of this character in digital text remains relatively limited compared to more widely-used scripts, it plays a crucial role in the study and documentation of ancient languages, literature, and religious texts, particularly those related to the Samaritan faith. The Samaritan TaaF letter is encoded within the Unicode Standard, ensuring that it can be accurately represented and used across different platforms, software applications, and digital formats, thereby contributing to the preservation and accessibility of this ancient script for future generations.
